I've successfully done the trick of adding unstable to my apt sources
list, then apt-get installing apt (the new version from unstable), then
setting up my apt configuration so that by default I get testing
version, but if I specifically get an unstable version, e.g.,
apt-get upgrade mozilla/unstable
It stays at the unstable version. Others more proficient than I have
described the technique in better detail on this list.
